Imane Khelif Names Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling in Lawsuit

Algerian Olympic boxer Imane Khelif has filed a cyberbullying lawsuit after false claims that she was transgender during the 2024 Paris Olympics led to widespread online harassment.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) confirmed her female identity, dismissing the accusations as baseless and linked to an arbitrary decision by the now-banned International Boxing Association (IBA).

The lawsuit, filed through Paris’s national center for combating online hate, names high-profile figures Elon Musk and J.K.

Rowling, who fueled the false claims on social media.
